Guestbook comments from the owner

“Beechwood House is even better than it looks on line”

We booked Beechwood House and one of the studios for a celebration of a family birthday. James was there to welcome us personally when we arrived. Everything was just perfect, including champagne on ice, chocolates, lots of fresh fruit and flowers. The Bates family.

Perfect place for a family reunion”

We were absolutely blown away by the property, and although the photos look lovely, they really don't do the property justice. The lounge was beautiful and there was plenty of room to hide away in to relax. The garden is massive, and was a wonderful space for the kids to have Easter egg hunts and the pool was a real bonus. James was a fantastic host, and the fruit, champagne and chocolates on arrival were a lovely surprise. We'll definitely be coming back! The Kenny family.

Beautiful

Very prompt when request regarding booking. We had my daughter's hen weekend at the house. Breathtaking from opening the front door. The house so perfectly set out for family events. Beautiful setting, very well kept. Would recommend this house to everyone that is considering booking. James was very helpful and accommodating too. We had a guest chef who confirmed the kitchen area was fabulous for him to work in too. We had a mad hatters afternoon tea in the dinning room and had ample space with 18 of us. The pool area is fabulous too and definitely an added bonus. I promise you won't be disappoint booking Beechwood House it is beautiful. Thank you so much James. Best wishes Sue

Idyllic place to stage a family get-together

We had an absolutely perfect family birthday weekend in this beautiful house and garden. It was ideal for us as a group and for young and old... a wonderful country walk on the Saturday, a pub lunch on the Sunday, delicious home-made meals provided by our family on two nights and two mornings, and multiple swims in the indoor pool for the two youngest and their mum.

We were also overwhelmed not only by the gracious space and decor of the house, and the delightful garden, but especially by the owners' generosity in leaving us flowers, chocolates, fruit and even a birthday cake! These caring and personal touches went way beyond the call of duty and made us feel so welcome.

We will definitely be recommending Beechwood House, and hope to return there one day ourselves.
